Base64 Password Storage Scheme

Note: this component has a complexity level of "expert", which means that objects of this type are not expected to be created or altered. Please contact UnboundID support for assistance if you believe that you have a need to create or modify this type of object.

The Base64 Password Storage Scheme provides a mechanism for encoding user passwords using the BASE64 encoding mechanism.

This scheme contains only an implementation for the user password syntax, with a storage scheme name of "BASE64". The Base64 Password Storage Scheme merely obscures the password so that the clear-text password is not available to casual observers. However, it offers no real protection and should only be used if there are client applications that specifically require this capability.
